Tuckurimba - Koala Preservation and Habitat Restoration

This project will regenerate and nurture native trees (primarily koala food trees) within an identified koala corridor. Building on previous plantings and encouragement of self-sown regeneration of trees, a site assessment of existing flora and weeds will inform development of plans for weed control, gully edge conservation and regeneration that will then be implemented. A printed guide on identifying habitat flora and fauna will be developed as a community resource and advice gained will inform plantings that encourage a rich native environment. Continued growth of young trees will be supported and weed control will be undertaken. Three field days will encourage community input, involvement and education concerning koala habitat.
